Do you install Correct Track for lifting 5er?

I need to raise my trailer to fit my stock Ram 3500 4x4.

Looking to see how many of you have done it and how did your install go.

LCI 'Correct Track' is used for alignment of trailer axles....that is what is was designed for.
Added benefit other then easy DIY alignment is that it will raise the trailer height 2"


SO that is an option if nose high by 2" of less
But if 2" is not enough then you have to go to other options


1) Changing/adjustments on hitch and/or pin box
2) 'Flipping Axles'....actually moving leaf spring pak from Under the axles to OVER the axles----roughly a 4" gain in trailer height
3) Leaf Spring Shackles.....if they have adjustment holes changing spring eye mountings to a Lower Hole will raise trailer...roughly 2-3" per hole
4) Subframe...cut spring shackles off..weld rectangular tubing onto frame, weld spring shackles back on with cross brace tubing at shackles for lateral support
(tubing sized based on height needed---2X3, 2X4, 2X4 etc)


5) lowering truck suspension if applicable

Curious to know if you measured/verified alignment.

I bought and installed Correct Track to raise the 5th, alignment was good before and after install. If 2" will fix your problem it is a relatively easy fix.

I had the Correct Track installed on my 2006 Travel Supreme, because my tow truck is a F550 4 wheel drive, thus is higher than a 2 wheel drive. Had blown 4 tires on rear axel and this has made a big difference in better distribution of weight.
